00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03, [INAUDIBLE] any point. [CHILDREN SCREAMING]
00:31 Bar, Ernie, pack it in.
00:33 You hungry?
00:40 I'll make me own breakfast.
00:41 I'll take the boys to school if you want.
00:43 Yeah?
00:45 Knock yourself out.
00:46 [DOG BARKING]
00:49 Oh, there you are.
01:04 Hi.
01:05 All right.
01:06 Yeah.
01:07 Yeah.
01:08 Oh, do you know what?
01:09 Thank you.
01:10 You're welcome.
01:13 Me and Zach have got back-to-back viewings today.
01:18 Already?
01:19 Well, good, isn't it?
01:22 Yeah.
01:24 You all right?
01:26 Yeah, I'm great.
01:29 It's just the end of an era, isn't it?
01:33 Are you going to miss me?
01:35 Can't wait to see the back of you.
01:37 No.
01:38 [SIGHS]
01:41 Oh.
01:43 [SIGHS]
01:44 Hopefully, I won't go too far.
01:49 I'll probably go across the square.
01:51 I've got my little beady eye of 29A right next to Stace.
01:56 I know Charlie's crying gets too much for you.
01:58 Nowhere to find me.
02:00 [LAUGHS]
02:06 I'll chat to you later.
02:09 We really should all get each other.
02:10 Oh, sorry.
02:11 Ben, will you just listen to me, please?
02:16 This is Emma.
02:17 We can't trust her.
02:18 Well, I don't think she's going anywhere this time.
02:20 Well, I ain't having Lexi anywhere near that woman.
02:22 See?
02:23 Jay don't want it, nor Emma.
02:23 But Lexi does.
02:24 Well, I don't care what Lexi wants.
02:25 Lexi's a baby.
02:26 And Emma shouldn't be messaging her behind her backs.
02:29 You know what?
02:29 I'm going to handle this.
02:30 Oh, Ben, going in all guns blazing
02:32 is not going to help anyone, is it?
02:34 All right, well, I'm going to work.
02:35 Lexi has just started to do well.
02:36 Right, she's started a new school.
02:38 She's making friends.
02:39 If Emma comes in and takes her off the rails--
02:40 It'll be all right.
02:42 OK, I will sort it.
02:43 Gorgeous, isn't she?
02:50 She's got-- she's got Ricky's nose, look.
02:52 Oh, yeah.
02:53 Thank you.
02:54 Can I get two coffees and two sugars, please?
02:56 Sure.
02:57 Thank you.
02:58 Oh, you're right, darling.
03:00 Yeah.
03:02 Don't look it.
03:03 [SQUISHING]
03:04 You should have told me about your scare.
03:09 Oh, no, I'm sorry.
03:10 I just didn't want to worry you, that's all.
03:12 I remember when I got my all clear.
03:13 Oh, wow.
03:14 Yeah, you chance all the things I've never done before.
03:17 Like I fancy doing a bit of kayaking, maybe skiing.
03:20 And how about flying a magic carpet?
03:22 On your feet.
03:23 [SCREAMING]
03:24 Oh, look who's here, the gruesome twosome.
03:27 Can you take us to school?
03:29 Well, actually, come on, you know, it's--
03:31 well, it's Phil's turn.
03:32 How about, how about, oh, hear me out,
03:33 I'll take you pair tomorrow, yeah?
03:35 Can't meet her, take us tomorrow.
03:39 Phil, have you seen Ben?
03:42 He don't want ya.
03:43 Phil?
03:45 No one wants ya.
03:46 He's in a bad mood, mum too.
03:48 Is she?
03:49 You kids, do what you want.
03:51 I know, listen, Phil, I don't know
03:52 where they got the meat here.
03:54 OK, he's gone.
03:55 Right, um, say goodbye to everybody.
03:57 Let's go.
03:58 Bye, boys.
03:59 Linda, I'll talk to you later.
04:00 All right, bye, Alfie.
04:00 See ya, see ya.
04:01 I don't want to be here.
04:02 Come on, let's go.
04:03 Good morning.
04:12 Good morning.
04:14 Denise?
04:16 What's wrong?
04:19 Whitney and Zach are house hunting,
04:21 which means that I have to find a new roommate
04:23 or cut loose and downsize.
04:28 Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
04:29 If you're stuck, maybe I can move in.
04:32 Really?
04:33 Yeah, no brainer.
04:35 Nugget loves you and--
04:36 Ah, or, or you can move in with us.
04:39 We'd love to have you and Jordan.
04:41 It'd be like old times, you, me, Bridget Jones' diary.
04:46 Yeah, Chels, Bridget Jones' diary,
04:48 or moving in with your boyfriend.
04:51 Sorry I'm late.
04:57 I tried to get off the van early,
04:58 but-- - Shh, shh.
05:00 Just sleeping.
05:02 The social workers are coming.
05:03 It's a mess in here.
05:05 We can sort it out, can't we, Lily?
05:09 Have you changed her?
05:11 Of course I have.
05:12 Oi.
05:14 Stacy.
05:16 What?
05:17 Oh, all right, darling.
05:19 All right, all right.
05:21 Oh, Martin can't get cover.
05:26 That's annoying.
05:27 Can you sort this place out, please?
05:28 It is an absolute pigsty.
05:30 Yeah, I know.
05:31 While she's got sick on her baby grope,
05:35 Naz is going to be looking at absolutely everything.
05:37 Stacy, will you stop treating her like a child?
05:40 She is a child.
05:42 Well, we've got a handle on this.
05:44 Just trust us.
05:45 Trust?
05:46 After yesterday, this one feeding Charlie crisps
05:49 and flaunting her on TikTok?
05:50 Well, get up.
05:54 Sort it out.
05:56 [BELL RINGS]
05:58 Oh, Phil, this is Dorian, George's pal.
06:05 He's working with us on the pipeline and punch-up line.
06:08 This is Phil, my co-partner.
06:09 Nice meeting you, mate.
06:11 Yeah, well, we've got some--
06:12 some local fighters that we can use.
06:14 Oh, I think we need some uppercutters.
06:17 No riffraff.
06:18 Now, I'm talking Paul Egan, Lee Dalton, and Ashley Torren.
06:22 The bigger the names, the bigger the investments.
06:24 You telling me how to run my business?
06:26 Dorian, why don't you have a walk about and get
06:28 a proper feel of the place, OK?
06:30 What?
06:36 It's my gym.
06:37 It's our gym.
06:40 You know what?
06:41 No one seems to even know what I'm doing, so--
06:43 How are you enjoying grandfatherhood?
06:50 Day by day.
06:51 No, hang in there.
06:52 It'll be well worth it.
06:54 Cheers.
06:55 [PHONE VIBRATING]
06:57 I had Emma in here earlier looking for Ben.
07:06 I was tempted to spit in her coffee.
07:09 Now, Lexi's been secretly messaging her.
07:12 Yes, I had an earful from Ben.
07:14 He said you were going to sort it.
07:15 That's just it.
07:16 I don't know how, do I?
07:18 Maybe Lexi's trying to connect with Lola in her own little way.
07:20 I don't know.
07:21 Emma is her name.
07:22 So that gives her the right to just go around breaking
07:24 her heart over and over.
07:25 No, no.
07:26 Listen, what Emma did was wrong.
07:30 But obviously, Lexi wants her in her life.
07:33 And let's face it, she's getting to that age
07:35 now where she's going to go through things that none
07:37 of you lot have gone through.
07:38 So what would Lola do?
07:46 Lola hated her buddying.
07:49 But before that, Emma was good with legs.
07:52 And what about Ben and Jane?
07:54 Well, what's more important, Lexi's happiness
07:57 or that her dad's fighting with her nan?
07:59 Look, it's going to be all right.
08:14 Yeah.
08:15 I'll talk to you in a bit, OK?
08:16 All right, darling.
08:17 Bye.
08:18 Bye.
08:19 [KISS]
08:20 You OK?
08:21 I've got you a drink.
08:21 Thank you.
08:23 So how's Witsvine's going?
08:24 Oh, not great.
08:26 They didn't get the flat next to Stace.
08:28 And whoever got it really wanted it
08:30 because they weren't going to run over the asking price.
08:33 I'm sure they'll find something.
08:36 I don't know.
08:37 They wanted the flat next to mine.
08:39 But they can't even afford the deposit.
08:41 And the landlord wants it today.
08:42 They deserve to foster more than anyone.
08:46 But part of me is glad that she's not
08:50 moving out straight away.
08:54 You and Nugget aren't moving in after all.
08:58 But it would have been nice, though, moving in.
09:00 Yeah.
09:01 But maybe the universe just thinks it's not time yet.
09:05 Want a doggy bag?
09:18 No, you're all right.
09:19 Phil, he's got good ideas and contacts, which
09:27 is why George recommended him.
09:30 Is this about Kat?
09:33 What you done now?
09:36 I thought-- I thought she'd be happy now
09:40 if he got the all clear.
09:41 All clear for what?
09:44 Cancer.
09:45 He's all right. He's fine.
09:45 He's just-- he was just scared.
09:47 Well, I knew.
09:51 And she didn't.
09:52 And she--
09:53 She thinks you were keeping it to yourself because you don't
09:57 want to see her all over it.
10:00 And what, she saw us now, huh?
10:02 Me and you talking.
10:05 She loves you, Phil.
10:07 Make her listen before you wreck your business
10:10 and your wedding.
10:17 Oh, she's early.
10:18 Right, I'll get it.
10:20 Right, take these.
10:22 Hi, Naz.
10:23 Hello.
10:24 Thank you.
10:25 Yeah.
10:27 Hi, Naz.
10:28 Hey, lovely to see you again, Stacey.
10:31 Thank you.
10:32 Lily, how's everything going?
10:34 Yes, really good, thanks.
10:35 Yeah, there's a squash there and some biscuits if you want.
10:40 You're looking well.
10:41 How's Charlie?
10:42 Yeah, she's really good.
10:43 She's upstairs asleep.
10:44 The baby monitor's just there in case.
10:46 Great.
10:48 So Lily, how are you finding the first few days of motherhood?
10:51 Yeah, fine.
10:53 It's a big change for you?
10:55 Yeah, it's all right.
10:58 Mom and Nan help out a lot.
10:59 It's a bit like Charlie's got three moms.
11:01 We took her out for a bit yesterday.
11:03 Oh, how did that go?
11:05 Yeah, she really enjoyed it, didn't she?
11:08 Yeah, it was fun.
11:10 Took some photos, had a picnic.
11:12 It was really nice to feel like a normal family.
11:14 Oh, it's good to hear, Lily, that.
11:16 It's a team effort, isn't it?
11:17 [LAUGHTER]
11:20 [LAUGHTER]
11:23 Oh, cheers.
11:26 Hello.
11:27 We got it.
11:28 We're moving in next door, mate.
11:29 Two weeks.
11:30 [LAUGHTER]
11:35 It's amazing.
11:36 Yeah.
11:37 Thank you, yeah.
11:38 One step closer to having our little family.
11:40 Mm-hmm.
11:42 The deposit-- how did you get the deposit?
11:44 Don't worry about that, mate.
11:45 Sort me out.
11:46 Do you want me to help you find someone to move in?
11:48 Well, I might have already found someone.
11:51 What?
11:52 Yeah, I'm happy.
11:54 Wow.
11:55 Wow.
11:55 That's big.
11:56 Uh-huh.
11:57 OK, well, should we go and have a drink, celebrate?
12:00 It's not official yet.
12:02 I've got to get to Peggy's anyway, but congratulations.
12:05 Amazing. - Thank you.
12:06 Thank you.
12:06 Just think about it, OK?
12:14 Me and the boys day out, bit of go-karting and bumper cars.
12:17 Your spinning's giving me a headache.
12:18 [GROWLING]
12:20 Your cancer scare ain't a joke, Alfie.
12:23 I'll take that as a no to the bumper cars, then.
12:27 The thought of telling the boys they were going to lose their dad.
12:29 Yeah, well, Kat, that's not happening now, is it?
12:31 I'm not going anywhere.
12:33 And no one's leaving anyone.
12:34 Don't even think about that again.
12:36 Why is everything with you and Phil so complicated?
12:39 It's-- all right.
12:42 Um, I need to go and get the boys.
12:45 I, uh-- go ahead, Ace.
12:55 Mom, I know.
13:02 I know you're excited about having me and Jordan, but--
13:05 [FOOTSTEPS]
13:07 OK, look, I promise I'll let you know, OK?
13:11 OK, bye.
13:13 [FOOTSTEPS]
13:15 I'm fine.
13:20 Yeah, well, there's--
13:21 but nothing's changed with me moving, OK?
13:25 I'm always going to be there for you.
13:26 You're fostering, and I am so happy for you guys.
13:33 But Ravi wants to play happy families with him and Nugget,
13:37 and it's just all going from zero to 100.
13:43 Well, look, you and Ravi get on really well.
13:46 So why not ask him to move in?
13:47 What if it's too soon, babe?
13:52 I've got such a good rhythm, and I'm on top of things
13:55 with Jordan.
13:58 Going to be taking care of Nugget, who I love.
14:02 It's just big.
14:04 And what if I can't do it?
14:07 If the last year has shown us anything,
14:14 it's that life is too short.
14:15 You know that sometimes you've got to take a leap of faith.
14:22 That's what me and Zach are doing with the fostering.
14:24 I know.
14:25 But maybe I should just check with Felix, because--
14:31 well, he might not-- - Right, OK.
14:32 Well, maybe you should stop making excuses.
14:34 What's your heart saying?
14:39 I do understand it, you know, you and him.
14:44 I mean, why do you think I've been nagging him so much?
14:46 But you don't understand it, do you?
14:47 I do.
14:48 I knew that you wouldn't want him to be alone.
14:49 It's nothing to do with him being alone.
14:51 I need to be with him.
14:52 Not you, not anyone, me.
14:54 Look, there's nothing wrong with him, Kat.
14:55 That's not the point, all right?
14:57 I've always been there for you.
14:59 Every step, I've laid my safety and my boy's safety
15:02 on the line for you, because I've been
15:04 stupid enough to love you.
15:05 And I still can't believe that you see me and Alf
15:09 and you think something's going on.
15:11 I never said I thought something was going on.
15:12 I've never cheated on you, Phil.
15:14 You're all right one stupid drunken kiss,
15:16 but I'm not like your exes, all right?
15:18 I haven't jumped in your brother's bed.
15:19 I haven't pulled out a gun and shot you.
15:22 Oh, God knows sometimes I'd love to.
15:24 I am not the problem here, all right?
15:27 You see something good, and you get out your wrecking ball.
15:31 I deserve better, yeah?
15:34 And if you let yourself, you do too.
15:35 Let's hope she sleeps through the night like that.
15:58 Remember, give me a call at any time,
16:00 and I'll see you next week, Lily.
16:01 Of course.
16:02 Oh, I need a copper.
16:06 That went well, didn't it?
16:10 Mm.
16:11 Oh.
16:13 Well for who?
16:15 Lily or you?
16:18 Lily needs to find her feet and be able to speak for herself.
16:23 Oh, right.
16:24 So you'd have preferred her to tell Naz about yesterday then?
16:27 Naz said all new mothers make mistakes.
16:29 I made mistakes.
16:30 You made mistakes.
16:31 Lily needs to know that that is normal.
16:33 Well, yeah, it is normal for everyone else,
16:35 but we don't have that luxury.
16:36 But we are normal.
16:38 Lily is a 13-year-old mum.
16:40 I'm an ex-criminal trying to make ends meet
16:42 with a stalker on my back.
16:44 We have no other option, Mum, than to be perfect.
16:47 You can't put all that on her.
16:51 I weren't going to say anything about yesterday,
16:53 but I've learned my lesson.
16:55 I'm not trying to disappoint you,
16:57 but I want you to help me feel like I can do it
16:59 and not do it for me.
17:01 Maybe I can't be the best mum in the world like you,
17:03 but I want to try.
17:04 Hey.
17:16 Thanks for meeting me.
17:17 Her smile lit up every room.
17:24 When Lexi reached out, I had to respond.
17:29 I want to make it right.
17:32 So how long have you been messaging her?
17:36 Weeks.
17:38 You should have told us.
17:39 She's a kid.
17:40 She's my granddaughter.
17:42 And the fact she's not told any of you
17:44 shows that she's struggling.
17:45 And that isn't right.
17:47 Look, I had one chance with my daughter,
17:51 and I will never get that back.
17:54 But Lexi wants a relationship with me,
17:57 and she shouldn't have to be putting on a brave face
18:00 and suffering in silence.
18:01 She's too young.
18:03 Lexi knows she can talk to us.
18:05 She's got Ben, Jay, Billy, Honey.
18:09 Look, see for yourself.
18:11 Girls aren't talking to me at lunch sometimes.
18:20 Millie said I was an orphan because my mum's dead.
18:24 She didn't tell us that.
18:25 She doesn't want to upset you.
18:26 Keep reading.
18:27 You'll see.
18:29 I didn't know any of this.
18:31 I wish you were here, Nan.
18:32 You'd stick up for me just like Mum was.
18:34 This your way of dealing with it,
18:35 is it, by playing happy families?
18:37 Ben--
18:37 If you think I'm going to let you lie your way
18:38 into Lexi's life, you've got another thing coming.
18:40 Ben, I think we just need to sit down and hear her out.
18:42 So what?
18:43 So you can break her heart again, yeah?
18:44 Lexi wants me around.
18:46 Look, just read these messages.
18:47 You'll see.
18:48 I don't care about your proxy messages, all right?
18:52 I'm her dad.
18:53 Me.
18:55 And I say you ain't going anywhere near her.
18:57 That's final.
18:58 I'll talk to him.
19:09 Thank you.
19:10 Don't make me regret this.
19:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:19 I've made these in large to take it easy.
19:29 Happy anniversary.
19:30 Thank you.
19:31 OK.
19:32 I didn't expect you in today.
19:34 I didn't ask you if you did.
19:35 Hey, babe.
19:42 Hi.
19:43 Uh, guess what?
19:46 Whitney and Zach found the money for their deposit.
19:51 Does that mean--
19:52 That means you and Nugget can move in.
19:54 [LAUGHTER]
19:57 I promise I won't screw things up again.
19:59 Just because we've only got a new customer, is it?
20:05 Sorry, Phil.
20:06 He's going.
20:07 You can go ahead and walk.
20:08 What?
20:09 We'll make it up tomorrow.
20:11 [MUSIC PLAYING]
20:15 We're closed.
20:18 Yeah.
20:19 Double dill and tonic.
20:21 When you're ready.
20:22 You all right?
20:34 Oh, yeah.
20:35 Harvey spilled the rest of the baby formula.
20:37 You haven't got any more formula, have you?
20:39 Sorry, no.
20:40 Um, Lily told Ricky that the social went well.
20:44 Yeah, it was great.
20:46 Yeah, look, um, about yesterday, sorry.
20:50 Just trying to be a good granddad.
20:51 And, you know, it ain't easy.
20:53 It's all new, isn't it?
20:55 You know, and what with Theo still
20:57 lurking in the background.
20:58 Look, I should have been on your side.
21:03 I won't give you the benefit of the doubt.
21:06 Well, Mom said I'm smothering Lily.
21:08 But I just wanted to make sure she
21:09 said all the right things to the social worker.
21:11 But I mean, I probably did overdo it.
21:13 Lily's a young mom.
21:14 All right?
21:15 She's going to face a lot of scrutiny.
21:17 She just needs our protection.
21:18 Yeah.
21:20 And she needs to know that we trust her.
21:22 I probably shot that in the foot.
21:23 No, no, no.
21:24 You're a good mom, Stace.
21:26 You know what needs to be done.
21:30 Thank you.
21:30 Um, oh.
21:38 Dry wipe wine, please, Trace.
21:40 I'll bring that.
21:41 OK.
21:43 Right.
21:44 So, Harry and Jack, if you still want,
21:47 they can move your stuff into ours.
21:49 We've been thinking about this all day, actually.
21:51 Now, I know it's going to be pretty close quarters,
21:53 but I thought--
21:54 I've got the best bottle in the house for my new roomie.
21:58 Oh, you are joking.
22:00 So what, you're moving in with him?
22:01 Mom.
22:02 Hm.
22:03 Babe, will you just get another drink?
22:05 Just--
22:06 Mom.
22:16 This will be good for me, and it will be good for Jordan.
22:23 Just stay, have a drink.
22:25 You don't even know him.
22:26 Oh, and you think you do.
22:27 I do.
22:28 I know him.
22:29 If you spent one minute around us instead of picking at him,
22:32 you'd actually see he's a good guy.
22:34 Whitney and Zach, they're moving on.
22:36 They're embracing new challenges.
22:37 Why shouldn't I?
22:38 You should be supporting me, not tearing me down.
22:41 And why should I do that when you're
22:44 moving in, in with my grandson?
22:47 When did you get so bitter?
22:50 You said that you would get along with Ravi
22:53 if it meant not losing me.
22:55 What happened to that?
22:55 I am scared.
22:56 You are.
22:59 Listen, because I'm only going to say this once.
23:03 Ravi is moving in with me and Jordan,
23:05 whether you like it or not.
23:07 Because it is my life.
23:08 When you're ready.
23:17 Ugh, don't start.
23:22 I've just had an earful from your son, so you can save it.
23:30 Apparently, I don't deserve to be in Lexi's life.
23:34 You don't.
23:38 Told you earlier.
23:40 Yeah, but it's not a matter of deserve, is it?
23:42 It's what's right for Lexi.
23:45 What?
23:47 What planet is that on, eh?
23:51 You ran out of your daughter's life when she was a kid,
23:53 and you ran out of the life when she needed you most.
23:56 So?
23:58 So that makes it fine to push me out?
24:02 Just leave Lexi alone, yeah?
24:03 She's the one messaging me.
24:06 So what, am I supposed to ignore what she wants because it
24:09 doesn't fit in with someone else?
24:13 Don't tell me you've never messed up, Phil.
24:16 Never done the wrong thing, thinking it was right.
24:20 Never made mistakes with the kids.
24:23 Never said I was perfect, did I?
24:26 Always been there for Ben, have you?
24:30 For his sister?
24:32 For the little one you got with the woman from the salon?
24:36 Always there for--
24:38 how many wives is it now?
24:41 Two?
24:44 Three?
24:46 Four?
24:47 I think you need to go.
24:48 No, no.
24:49 Because I think wives and kids, you like to have them near.
24:56 But then you haven't got a clue what to do next.
25:01 You pretend to think you care for others.
25:05 But deep down, you're just thinking about what
25:08 they might be doing to you.
25:10 Some people aren't built to think for other people, Phil.
25:19 Is that right?
25:20 Yeah.
25:22 People like us, we break things.
25:28 It's how we're designed.
25:29 It's what we do.
25:34 She's new, well?
25:47 She'll see you for who you really are.
25:50 And what's that?
25:52 A pathetic excuse for a man.
25:53 I love Chelsea.
26:01 I know you don't want to believe that, but I'll make her happy.
26:04 I refuse to let my daughter end up with a manipulator.
26:10 [PHONE RINGING]
26:17 Hello?
26:21 No, don't worry about it, Zach.
26:23 I'm glad I can help you both.
26:25 Just don't mention it to Charles or anyone, yeah?
26:30 All right, cool.
26:31 Hey.
26:32 I'll have another one.
26:35 Try to make it large.
26:39 Oh, at least you're paying for this.
26:40 So it ain't just Phil, are it?
26:42 Who are you, his therapist?
26:44 I mean, who can compete with Kat and Alfie?
26:46 There is no Kat and Alfie, that's the point.
26:48 And there ain't no me and Phil.
26:51 Still doesn't mean there's been times when you've been jealous,
26:55 no times you've messed up.
26:56 Alfie had a scare.
27:01 So did you, I get that.
27:03 But don't take your fear out on Phil.
27:06 He's doing the best he can.
27:09 Don't throw away what you have, Kat, and end up like me.
27:13 Look on the shelf.
27:14 [MUSIC PLAYING]
27:18 I love that dress.
27:25 Jeez.
27:26 Jeez.
